people's opinions on boots?

[carlperkins00...]

thinking about buying some new boots as soon as i get enough money saved up.
i was going to get some puma's but apparently they are really comfy, but fall apart.
anyone got any suggestions?
I like the SIDI vertigo corsa air's and some of the new A* too..

Oxtar (Now TTX are great). Had a low speed off in my Oxtars and they stood up well. Well enough that I still wear them.

Had a pair of Sidis a few years ago, and they were good too.

My SIDI's are comfy enough to wear all day and not notice, they have done a good job at falling apart with all the plastic bits, I would still trust them in an off though, infact they have saved my ankle once already.

Despite them slowly falling apart I will still be buying another pair for my next boots so make what you will of this post

Just replaced my A* SMX-4 with some Arlen Ness boots.

Look teh sex but very stiff and need breaking in.

Whilst I was in Hein Gericke trying boots on, I tried the A* SMX-Plus boots. They were very 'plush' and what I would call comfy but lack of water proofness stopped my from buying them.

Depends if you commute or not, do you want wet feet/socks sitting in the office all day?

I just got a pair of bog standard £70 weise boots that I bought when I had the RS125. Need a pair of Sidi's me thinks. Are they the better boots to get as everyone seems to go on about them?

I have a pair of the boots on the right, lasted me a year of every-day, all weather riding and two slow speed offs.

Only problem is the scratches from the offs and that's it.

Recommended for the price.

what boots are they?? they look pretty cool.

I find my A* Supertech R's fantastic, very comfy and with an inner boot to it. Only downer is waterproof is out of the window but hey ho. Sidi's I hear are good had them recommended to me.
I looked at a pair of the Arlen Ness mainly to be a tart to match the suit lol, but speaking to the lass in the shop totally put me off. Her feedback was they've had the stock in for 6 months and they havnt shifted much at all, any they have got rid of have had tosh feedback. Shame as they look the bollox IMO.

Use a pair of RDM -£45(Infinity own brand) for 18mnths - great for riding & walking.

Just sold a pair of Alpinestars SMX-R -used for three weeks- (£190)
Shite!!!!

If you have to get bike boots, I'd say Sidi,(Rain), but I hardly ever wear mine - not comfy enough off the bike, and I feel a bit like Danny La Rue walking down the road in them. Just bought a pair of Magnums but I'm not too keen on them either. Might just need wearing in a bit.

the MOST uncomfy boots around have to be the Frank Thomas SP Tech boots. The design is awful, they kill your feet after walking 100meters.
I think i will probably save up and buy some SIDI vortice boots. everyone who has ever had a pair of SIDI's seems to recommend them so they must be good.

[Vincent]

Not bike boots, but the most comfy boots I ever wore on the bike were a pair of Head "Exploration". I literaly wore them till they fell apart and grieved at their passing

I bought some Nitro race boots (NB101) I think. They are quite good especially at £65, nice and comfortable

I bought the SIDI Vertigo and have found them to be a great dry weather boot. Only comfort issue I've had was making sure my socks were long enough, else they rub at the top!

Ive got a pair of Sidi Vertigo Corsa's. I paid top dollar for them when they first came out. Within about 4k miles they had snapped one of the locking mechanisms, the pins that hold the clasps together on both botts had started to fall out (they are pushed back in on a regular basis) and the zips had snapped on both. Thing is that I would trust them totally in an off (or more importantly I had my biggest off in them and they were fine). Other niggles are the 'air vents' which normally choose their own position (i.e open) and stay there because they are so loose. Although they look very good I would'nt buy another pair, the shiny bits are for show and break easy, good boot apart from those bits though.

Beofre that I had a second hand pair of sidi Vertebrae's and they were awesome, comfortable and hard wearing. Shame they went so tarty and superficial

I got a pair of Gore-Tex lined Puma boots on Sale for £40 at Hein
Gericke back in January, for commuting. Wore and, walked about all
day in them - Very comfy.

Still in one piece and kept my feet warm and dry through the winter
and spring. Summer is too warm for them, though, so I'll get them
back on in the Autumn.

It probably depends which of the Puma range you get. I think mine were a steal.
